The Roulettes will conduct a flypast at 1100h in a missing wingman formation over the National Vietnam Veterans Museum, 25 Veterans Drive, Newhaven. 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LOSS OF MAGPIE 91 BY GROUP CAPTAIN CARL SCHILLER, OAM, CSM (RETD) Every conflict has its tragic stories. However, I am sure among the worst are those where there has been no confirmed death or whereabouts of a missing veteran who are recorded as Missing in Action (MIA). And, so it was for Flying Officer Michael Herbert and Pilot Officer Robert Carver of No 2 Squadron whose Canberra aircraft A84-231 (call-sign Magpie 91) was lost in South Vietnam on the evening of November 3rd, 1970. The airmen, both 24 years, departed Phan Rang airbase on a routine bombing sortie near the Laotian/South Vietnam border. They were never heard from again. A subsequent Court of Inquiry into the disappearance found no obvious reason for the loss.

  • The US Army Air Forces in WWII
    DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AIR FORCE Air Force Historical Studies Office 28 June 2011 Errata Sheet for the Air Force History and Museum Program publication: With Courage: the United States Army Air Forces in WWII, 1994, by Bernard C. Nalty, John F. Shiner, and George M. Watson. Page 215 Correct: Second Lieutenant Lloyd D. Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 218 Correct Lieutenant Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 357 Correct Hughes, Lloyd D., 215, 218 To: Hughes, Lloyd H., 215, 218 Foreword In the last decade of the twentieth century, the United States Air Force commemorates two significant benchmarks in its heritage. The first is the occasion for the publication of this book, a tribute to the men and women who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War 11. The four years between 1991 and 1995 mark the fiftieth anniversary cycle of events in which the nation raised and trained an air armada and com- mitted it to operations on a scale unknown to that time. With Courage: U.S.Army Air Forces in World War ZZ retells the story of sacrifice, valor, and achievements in air campaigns against tough, determined adversaries. It describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for the application of air power against an opponent's key industries and centers of national life, a doctrine whose legacy today is the Global Reach - Global Power strategic planning framework of the modern U.S. Air Force. The narrative integrates aspects of strategic intelligence, logistics, technology, and leadership to offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American air power to victory in that war.

  • Lockheed Hudson Story from Radschool Magazine.Docx
    Lockheed Hudson Thanks to Trevor Benneworth and the RADSCHOOL Magazine The Hudson served the Allies faithfully during WW2 on most fronts and with little fanfare. The air forces of Britain, Canada, the United States, New Zealand, the Netherlands, China, Brazil and Australia all operated Hudsons. Derived from the Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra 12 passenger transport, it first flew in December 1938 and by the time production ended in mid 1943, a total of 2,941 had been built, most of which served the Royal Air Force and Commonwealth countries. The RAAF received 247 Hudson’s between January 1940 and May 1942 and as the war progressed a growing number of roles were found for it, including transport (14 troops could be carried if the turret and other items of equipment were removed), meteorological reconnaissance, VIP transport and air-sea rescue, for which role an under fuselage airborne lifeboat could be carried. The versatility of the Hudson ensured it remained in service throughout the war and for a time afterwards. You have to pity the poor old bomb aimer on this aircraft. To get into his position, first the right hand seat had to be removed then he had to crawl forward into the nose cone. If anything happened to the aircraft the poor bloke would first have to "back out" from his position, then try and negotiate the right hand seat then crawl down the back to find an opening to leave the aeroplane. Guts men the lot of them. This particular aircraft (A16-112) was built in 1939 and received ex USA on the 5th December 1941.

  • SPRING 2015 - Volume 62, Number 1 Call for Papers Violent Skies: the Air War Over Vietnam a Symposium Proposed for October 2015
    SPRING 2015 - Volume 62, Number 1 WWW.AFHISTORICALFOUNDATION.ORG Call For Papers Violent Skies: The Air War Over Vietnam A Symposium Proposed for October 2015 Four military service historical foundations—the Air Force Historical Foundation, the Army Historical Foundation, the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, and the Naval Historical Foundation—recognize that a half century has passed since the United States became militarily engaged in Southeast Asia, and hope to sponsor a series of conferences involving scholars and veterans, aimed at exploring aspects and conse- quences of what once was known as America’s Longest War. For the first conference in the series, since all military services employed their combat aircraft capabilities in that conflict, the leaders of the four nonprofit organizations agree that the air war over Southeast Asia offers a compelling joint topic for reflective examination and discus- sion. The intent is to host a symposium on this subject in the national capital region on Thurs- day and Friday, October 15 and 16, 2015, potentially extending into Saturday, October 17. Other stakeholder organizations will be approached to join as co-sponsors of this event. The organizers of the symposium envision plenary and concurrent sessions to accommodate a wide va- riety of topics and issues. Panel participants will be allotted 20 minutes to present their research or discuss their experiences. A panel chair will be assigned to provide commentary and moderate discussion. Com- menters from academia, veterans, Vietnamese émigrés, and scholars from the region may be invited to pro- vide additional insights. Panel/Paper proposals may employ both chronological and topical approaches: Examples of chronological subjects can include: U.S.

Donations can be made to: Ventura Memorial Flight Association 14210-24A St. Edmonton, Alberta T5Y 1L7 Purpose of the VMFA The Ventura Memorial Flight Association was formed in 1987 with the purpose of recovering a crashed Lockheed Ventura GR.V aircraft from a site 50 miles from Yellowknife, NWT, and return it to flying condition. The Lockheed Ventura was a development of the Lockheed 18 Lodestar and was designed as a fast daylight bomber for an RAF Specification. An order for 675 aircraft was placed in the spring of 1941, but that order was cancelled in favour of De Havilland Mosquito. This left Lockheed with only one customer for the Ventura, the RCAF, who saw the Ventura as a replacement for the Lockheed Hudson. Although the Hudson saw wide use as a maritime patrol bomber in Canada we had a problem of large uninhabited coasts to patrol with few airfields. As the Ventura was much faster than the Hudson it could cover more area in a day. This kept the program going until December 1941 when the USA suddenly found itself at war. The Ventura Mk I and II aircraft were then used by the RAF as bombers while the USAAF and the US Navy both ordered the aircraft as anti-submarine aircraft. This built on the design already started for the RCAF and emerged for the US Navy as the PV-1, and in Commonwealth Air Forces as the Ventura GR.V.

  • Not a Machine for the Careless Or the Ham Fisted’
    16. ‘Not a machine for the careless or the ham fisted’ Settling into the cockpit of Hudson A16-97, Bob Hitchcock, his small suitcase stowed, was secure in a dual-purpose harness. His ‘QC (quick connection) seat type’ parachute allowed for interchangeability with the second pilot or navigator. The Irving parachute pack attached to his harness served as a cushion. Hitchcock faced an array of controls that were now familiar. He could see around him the dials and instruments he had learned to read ― the levers, buttons, and switches he knew would respond to his touch, the engine control pedestal with its three cranks for ailerons, rudder and, closest to him, the elevator. In his mind and muscle memory there was recently acquired experience. He had come to know the subtleties of the brakes, operated by pulling a car-type ratchet lever set in the central pedestal to his right. He had been instructed on the Hudson’s tendency to swing during the landing run and the consequent importance of a three-point landing, touching down with the main and tail wheels at the same time. He had been warned of the danger if braking became necessary during a landing run and he was forced to lean to one side and pull ― the rudder bar’s effectiveness could be compromised, the differential brake could be applied unwittingly, resulting in a ground loop. If that were to happen he had the further concern that the fuel tanks, directly above the undercarriage struts, might rupture and be set ablaze.1 He had probably heard as well of the story told by Pat Hall to pilots undergoing conversion courses with him at Richmond.

As I wrote this part of the editorial towards the end of July the prospect of not having sufficient coverage of the US Nats to put together a proper article for RT was on my mind.

A Facebook plea and a direct emailing to the entire membership with the last issue of beave RT ales brought forth no raised hands from volunteers. Thus our man in Columbia, Exec member Mark Heyendal , was left to improvise and call upon those he could reach on-site to help out with the work needed to produce the material I would need for RT .
